Moving out of the house and into a college dorm is an exciting experience for students, but for the grown-ups who raised them, it can be stressful. Your baby bird is finally leaving the nest, and you want to be sure they have all the comforts of home in their new space.
.
Our experts at Reviewed have done the legwork on what college-bound students really want (and need). We compiled a list of dorm room essentials, sentimental gifts and a few fun extras that will make the transition from home to the dorm a breeze. From coffee makers and microwaves to laptops and electric toothbrushes, this list has it all.
There’s not a lot of time for cooking in between classes and studying, so a microwave like the Toshiba Countertop Microwave will come in handy. The compact size makes it perfect for small spaces and it was one of the best affordable countertop microwaves we tested for having useful presets and a smart sensor.
